“Horse lover central”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

May 18, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

This is an excellent estancia to visit for the day to get out of the polluted capital and enjoy some fresh air. Four hours of horse back riding and an amazing asado (barbeque) makes for a memorable Argentinian experience. The staff are very attentive and keep close to beginners on horseback. For advanced riders, there is lots of cantering and the scenery is picturesque. You will no doubt catch glimpses of burrowing owls and native birds.

Dos Hermanos is a great excursion both for visitors and expats living in Buenos Aires. It is a horse lover's perfect retreat. Cabins are also available for rent for anyone wanting a longer stay, and also a nice option for families or a group of friends.

Great horses, warm and accommodating owners and fabulous food , what more can you ask for?

“A Nice Get-Away”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

May 3, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

Getting away from the hustle of the city and spending a day at this estancia is a treat. You'll be picked up for about $120 rt so try to arrange it with another couple. Bonnie, the gracious guide will great you with wine and cheese. Unfortunately, it's succumb with flies, but you'll try to overlook it because of her graciousness. Next, you'll be fitted with gear and ride the beautiful trails in an estounding setting.

You'll feast on a variety of meat, salad, and dessert. Again, grab quickly before the flies become overwhelming. (you'd think they'd use Citronella candles or netting.) You'll then ride again and do some trotting.

Later, you'll relax on hammocks or take a swim. You'll be entertained watching the well taken care of dogs, and pity the malnourished cat with her hungry kittens, that must find food on their own. Many of us fed them our lunch.
Aside from the flies and starving cats, you'll be happy you spent a day there.

“Very Pleased!!!”

In advance of our April 29 visit, the owner of the estancia, Ana Pena invested an amazing amount of time, patience and effort to accomodate my family's rather complex special dietary needs.

Truthfully, we expected her to bow out of the planning process as it became quite detailed and demanding, but she chose to stay the course!!!! Suffice to say, we were grateful that she was able to integrate our 'special' meal into the overall ranch experience.
And with the quiet assistance of one of her friends, Alberto, who was quite familiar with our dietary situation, the execution was as smooth as the planning. Kudos as well to Veronica for the actual food preparation.

Our guide for the day was named Bonnie, ably assisted by the gaucho Don Juan. While she was new to the ranch, Bonnie exuded the confidence and easygoing and engaging manner of someone who had been there many years. She definitely transcended the normal and expected role of guide, to be our friend for the day. We appreciated her flexibility in slowly ramping up my kids' requests to go faster, as the day progressed.

Our overall experience is similar to other reviews- lowkey, simple, authentic, friendly. There is no hype, no frills, no upselling at this ranch, which we found quite refreshing.

Expect to be startled 12 hours after your ride, that you have lower back muscles that you had no idea ever existed before your ride at Los Do Hermaos!!!

“a perfect day in the country”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

We recently spent a perfect day at Estancia Los Dos Hermanos. After several exhausting days touring Buenos Aires, we were so happy to spend a relaxing day and night at the estancia. We were picked up by a private car at our B & B in Buenos Aires and driven (about an hour) to the estancia. There, we were warmly greeted by Ana and shown to our little adobe cabin where we would spend the night. After enjoying drinks and freshly made empanadas we were shown to our horses. Each horse was chosen for the guests based on riding experience--from beginner to more experienced. We rode on the estancia property for about 2 hours and returned for a huge lunch. The lunch table was set up under the trees and we were served various courses including several cuts of beef. All of the guests agreed that it was the best beef in Argentina! Also available was wine and beer as well as a fabulous dessert. After a brief siesta we were back in the saddle again! This time we rode off the property and were gone about 2 hours. When we returned we were served coffee, tea, and homemade donuts. At this time, many of the guests departed, but since we were spending the night, we enjoyed a walk and some hammock time. Dinner was served in the main lodge which was pasta, fresh fruit, wine, beer. When we returned to our cabin, a fire had been started for us. We were tired after our long day of riding but hated to fall asleep so sat by the fire in our cozy house. This day was the highlight of our Argentina vacation.

“They deserve their #1 rating!”

We spent one day and night at Estancia los Dos Hermanos and we had a wonderful time. Like the previous reviewer, were the only guests they had that day, so my wife and I went riding with Bonnie as our personal guide. Bonnie's pretty new to Dos Hermanos, but not to horses. She's spent years riding and training polo ponies, and she was a great teacher and guide.

After a few hours of riding, we sat down with Bonnie and ranch co-owner Pancho for the best empanadas we ate in Argentina, as well as a delcious steak lunch. We took an afternoon siesta in hammocks under a shade tree and then rode some more in the afternoon. We spent the night at the ranch, where we enjoyed an delicious dinner with great wine. Not only do I highly recommend a riding visit to this estancia, but I suggest doing it with an overnight stay.
